Gigs ‘25

[Darran]

Within Temptation are at Download next year, looking forward to them. I like em. Nightwish too.

Do you think it’s a mid-life crisis?

It’s a bucket list really but I can accept your interpretation. Either way, I’m fine with it.

Coincidentally, former Nightwish singer, the inimitable Tarja Turunen, guested on several songs with Within Temptation on Friday

That must have been quite the spectacle given the voices involved.

Not my kind of music generally, but aren't McFly a bit of an oddity on that lineup?

Busted were there last year to much derision but apparently they went down a storm.

I’ve met Busted.
My mate was doing security for them at a signing and he invited Amy along.
I can’t lie they were absolutely lovely.

Excellent thanks. I don't think I was in the best place for sound as I was too near the front and most of the stuff that was coming out of the PA was almost behind me or at least level with me and really should have been slightly further back IMO but it wasn't bad enough to warrant moving as I had a great view even through the dozens of mobile phones However, visually, it was astonishing. Updated my avatar with a pic I took there.

It’s not a great venue. The acoustics are terrible but I’ve seen some great gigs there over many years.
At 68 now, I try to get on the balcony because the view is great and I can’t do standing at gigs any more.

Yes, I've seen quite a few vids of Friday's show on Youtube and they all sound poor. I usually play and hour's football on Friday evenings but obviously didn't last Friday but my legs felt far worse on Saturday morning after standing still for about 3 hours than they ever did after playing football! I've done one or two sitting in the last few years but I definitely missed the buzz you get nearer the front. I was probably about 8-10m from the stage in Cardiff and the atmosphere was amazing but the show was stunning visually so maybe a balcony seat wouldn't have been too bad on this occasion.

It's awful. Both legs in pain after an hour or so. You're so lucky to have half my pain .
